Typomag: Typography in Magazines

Gail Bichler of SPD writes, “Barcelona-based publisher Index Book recently released TypoMag,which highlights—you guessed it—magazine typography. Curated by editorial designer Laura Meseguer, the book features an international mix of publications known for inventive font usage from current hits like Futu and Elephant to erstwhile titles like Emigre and Suite.”

This is a must buy for any designer. Especially web designers who are finally able to start employing typography with more freedom than ever before.

“Skilled photographer and daring experimenter in several fields, Carlo Mollino was not only interested in architecture, but also aviation, design and fashion and above all, the mountains. His passion led him to publish in the 50’s, this book on techniques and style of skiing with drawings and diagrams as well as photographs.” — William Stout.
